Broxtowe Businesses Encouraged to Sign Declaration on Tobacco Control

However, many have gone one step further and introduced workplace policies and acted to promote health and productive smokefree environments for everyone. Sign the declaration on tobacco control and demonstrate your organisation’s commitment to addressing tobacco related issues and improving the health of your workforce.
